I have the previous model of the floppyemu. I absolutely love that thing except for the damn screen. It has given me trouble since day one where it goes blank after it has been running for a while or it is blank when it starts up . I have to fiddle with how the screen is seated or reset it a bunch of times before I get anything on the screen. I mentioned the screen problem to BMOW and that was Steve's suggestion for the problem. The screen is a known weakness with these things, and Steve has mentioned on the BMOW website that he is looking into a new screen. This problem has been getting worse as time goes on, and lately it has taken many tries to get the screen to work and now it sometimes just shows gibberish before I get it to display correctly. Last night was really bad and then I lost one of the stupid fiddly little button pushers for the case, which did not help my mood at all. Does anyone here have any solutions for getting the screen to work more reliably? It is an indispensable tool for keeping my old macs going, but the frustration with using it is starting to drive me crazy.
